My sweet friend, Lisa, is expecting her third child this summer. With two adorable little girls already at home, the gender reveal of baby #3 was going to be a pretty big deal. I was super excited she asked me to be in on the surprise - thankfully I only had to keep the secret for a few hours, pretty sure I couldn't have made it longer. It's so much harder to do these reveal cakes for friends - but oh so much fun!!

What to do when you can't decide on one theme for your hubbies party cake?? Do a cake with all his "favorite things." In this case - golf, surfing, acoustic guitar, and bowties! I love how the fondant man turned out with his cute little polkadot bowtie!

Lately I've been sketching out my cake designs - to help me keep track of details. It's always fun to see the original sketch...

Next to the final design!!

I adore everything about this cake. Especially the construction signs and cones. This cake is all edible except the CAT construction vehicles, which will do double duty as toys for the birthday boy after he blows out the candles!!

Our friend Sophie turned 6 in February -- and I love the theme of her party this year! A spy party - with inspiration from "Spy Kids" the movie. So, here's "Sophie" dressed up and ready to solve the birthday mystery!

You know how the nursery rhyme goes.... "snakes and snails and puppy dog tails... that's what little boys are made of!" A perfect theme for a boy baby shower!! I snapped a picture of the cake with the invitation - a perfect color match (harder than it looks!) The snail is my favorite on this one!

Something Sweet

I have a passion for fun cakes... I also have a passion for spending lots of time with my family! Amazingly, I've stumbled upon a way to enjoy both by making custom cakes for my friends (and their friends) out of my very own home here in Charlotte!! If you've found my site by referral and are ready to talk about your design, shoot me an email at triciaharris@hotmail.com. If you've found me from a web search engine, thanks for checking out my designs! Unfortunately, since I'm just one girl with one kitchen, I can't take any web referrals... but feel free to keep looking!
